Sending your
results to an EMAIL ADDRESS
-
In order If this is the first
time using this feature, make sure your website has been setup as an
application web on the ITD webserver. If it wasn't setup, then this web form application may not send email. Please
contact the ITD Helpdesk at ( x5522 ) or send an email to
itdhelp@bnl.gov
if you experience any problems or have additional questions.

It's better to leave the < Email format > as "Formatted
text" and leave the "Include field names"
selected. Using "Formatted
text" assures that the recipient will be able to open and
read the email correctly.

Insert your < Subject Line > title and
uncheck the "Form field name".
This field will put your subject title in the subject line of
your email.

Insert your < Reply-to line > email address and
uncheck the "Form field name".
In most cases, it's the email address where the results will be
sent to.

Since this email is coming from ITD's webserver it will have <
www@bnl.gov > in the < From: > field of the email. WE DO NOT
WANT PEOPLE SENDING REPLIES TO THIS EMAIL ADDRESS, so please
make sure you fill out the
< Reply-to line > email address correctly.

The < Confirmation Page > Tab - by default, you will get the
plain generic Microsoft FrontPage confirmation web page. Select
this tab if you want to point to a custom confirmation web page
you have made.

Select the < Save Fields > tab.

It's nice to have some extra information collected by your
form, like: the date, time, username, and remote computer name.
This information is always good to have.

Press < OK > when finished.

Press the < Advanced... > button.

We need to "Add" a hidden field in this form to warn
people who receive this email NOT
to send replies to < www@bnl.gov >.

Press the < Add... > button.

Name: Type
- < Please_Note >Value: "insert
line below into this field"Do not sent reply to www@bnl.gov, this email was forwarded from
the ITD webserver.

Press < OK > when finished.

The "Advanced Form Properties" Window should show the
new entry
( see below ).

Test your form...

If everything was filled out correctly and the form still does not
work, then your website may not be setup as an application web on
the ITD webserver. Please
contact the ITD Helpdesk at ( x5522 ) or send an email to
itdhelp@bnl.gov
and have them look into this issue.

That's It!
